About Mental Health Militia:
The Mental Health Militia alongside Complete Health Geelong is a leading mental health and disability support organisation offering programs tailored to individual and community needs. From psychoeducation to life skills workshops, gratitude, mindfulness, volunteering and community activities, their holistic approach has been instrumental in changing lives. However, they have identified a common challenge: individuals often disengage after being referred to external services.
To bridge this gap, they have founded Mental Health Militia, a grassroots initiative that provides immediate and tangible support. Through fundraising and community backing, they strive that no one seeking help falls through the cracks. Their programs have led to inspiring success stories, individuals achieving sobriety, pursuing education, improving fitness, and rejoining the workforce.
By integrating mindfulness, gratitude practices, and life skills training, they empower participants to transition from reactive to reflective behaviours, fostering self-worth, resilience, and a strong sense of identity. Encouraging participants to give back to the community further reinforces their commitment to healing and change.
